Technical Info for 18mm Round - Metal

18mm round metal photoeyes detect presence several ways: diffuse (light reflects from the target object back to the sensor), retroreflective (object interrupts light rebounding off a fixed reflector), or through-beam (object obstructs light traveling from an emitter to a receiver). Models are available with axial or right-angle optics (great for tight spaces).
